Study of high-multiplicity three-prong and five-prong τ decays at BABAR

2012

We present measurements of the branching fractions of three-prong and five-prong tau decay modes using a sample of 430 million tau lepton pairs, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 468 fb(-1), collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e_e storage rings at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The tau(-) -> (3 pi)(-) eta nu(tau), tau(-) -> (3 pi)(-) omega nu(tau), and tau(-) f(1) (1285)nu(tau) branching fractions are presented, as well as a new limit on the branching fraction of the second-class current decay tau(-) -> pi(-) eta'(958)nu(tau). We search for the decay mode tau(-) -> K- eta'(958)nu(tau) and for five-prong decay modes with kaons, and place the fi…

Achieving branched polyethylene waxes by aryliminocycloocta[b]pyridylnickel precatalysts: Synthesis, characterization, and ethylene polymerization

2017

Cycloocta[b]pyridin-10-one was prepared to form the corresponding imino derivatives, which then reacted with (DME)NiBr2 to form 10-aryliminocycloocta[b]pyridylnickel bromides (Ni1–Ni5). The new compounds were characterized by means of FT-IR spectroscopy as well as elemental analysis and the organic ligands were also analyzed by the NMR measurements. Furthermore, the molecular structure of a representative complex Ni3 was determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction, indicating the distorted tetrahedral geometry around the nickel atom. Upon the activation with either methylaluminoxane (MAO) or diethylaluminium chloride (Et2AlCl), the title nickel complexes exhibited high activity in et…

Intramolecular charge transfer and dual fluorescence of 4-(dimethylamino)benzonitrile: ultrafast branching followed by a two-fold decay mechanism.

2011

International audience; In this contribution we present new experimental and theoretical results for the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) reaction underlying the dual fluorescence of 4-(dimethylamino) benzonitrile ( DMABN), which indicate that the fully twisted ICT (TICT) state is responsible for the time-resolved transient absorption spectrum while a distinct partially twisted ICT (pTICT) structure is suggested for the fluorescent ICT state.

High resolution 80Se(n,γ) cross section measurement at CERN n_TOF and development of the novel i-TED detection system

2022

El proceso (-s) de captura lenta de neutrones es responsable de la formación de la mitad de los elementos más pesados ​​que el hierro en el universo. A pesar de la larga escala de tiempo de este proceso, la larga vida media de algunos isótopos inestables a lo largo del flujo de reacción del proceso-s crea puntos de ramificación que conducen a una división de la ruta de la nucleosíntesis. 79Se (t1/2 = 3.27 x 10^5 y) representa uno de los núcleos ramificados-s más relevantes y debatidos por dos razones principales. Por un lado, la existencia de estados excitados de baja energía en el 79Se, cuya población puede variar con la temperatura del medio estelar, hace que el patrón de abundancia local…

The emergence of new industries at the regional level: alignment of organizational and regional industrial culture

2021

This article provides insights into how and where new industries emerge and grow through theoretical reasoning and the advancement of relevant arguments through empirical examples from industry emergence in two Norwegian regions: the establishment of the boatbuilding and the electronics industry in Arendal; and the cancer medicine and educational technology industry in Oslo. The article focuses on culture as an important asset for new industry emergence. We argue that industry emergence is supported if organizational culture in emerging industries and existing or altered regional industrial culture become aligned. The four industry cases demonstrate how in some situations industries emerge …

Determination of dissociation energies by use of energy-dependent decay pathway branching ratios

2001

Abstract We present a method for the determination of dissociation energies of polyatomic systems that undergo sequential fragmentation with energy-dependent decay pathway branching. It allows to experimentally determine the dissociation energy of any polyatomic system that shows such fragmentation behaviour without the need for a specific modelling of the system or of its fragmentation process, thus eliminating several systematic errors of traditional methods. The new method has been applied to the sequential fragmentation of Au+14 and Au+16. The resulting dissociation energies are highly accurate and in good agreement with model-free values based on rates of sequential decays.

Comparative genomic and phylogenetic analyses of gammaproteobacterial glg genes traced the origin of the Escherichia coli glycogen glgBXCAP operon to…

2015

© 2015 Almagro et al. Production of branched α-glucan, glycogen-like polymers is widely spread in the Bacteria domain. The glycogen pathway of synthesis and degradation has been fairly well characterized in the model enterobacterial species Escherichia coli (order Enterobacteriales, class Gammaproteobacteria), in which the cognate genes (branching enzyme glgB, debranching enzyme glgX, ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase glgC, glycogen synthase glgA, and glycogen phosphorylase glgP) are clustered in a glgBXCAP operon arrangement. However, the evolutionary origin of this particular arrangement and of its constituent genes is unknown. Here, by using 265 complete gammaproteobacterial genomes we have …

Ethylene polymerization catalysts based on nickel(II) 1,4-diazadiene complexes: the influence of the 1,4-diazadiene backbone substituents on structur…

1998

Abstract Thermally sensitive dialkyl nickel complexes {DAD(H,H)}Ni(CH2SiMe3)2 and {DAD(Me,Me)}Ni(CH2SiMe3)2 [DAD(X,X)=2,6-iPr2C6H4–NC(X)–C(X)N–C6H4iPr2-2,6] were synthesized and were characterized by X-ray diffraction studies on single crystals. The substituents X on the backbone of the α-diimine ligand significantly influence the conformation of the 2,6-diisopropylphenyl substituents. This effect is thought to be of crucial importance for the polymerization of ethylene when {DAD(X,X)}NiBr2/MAO is used as catalyst. The influence of the catalyst structure, pressure, and temperature on the polymerization activity, molar mass, glass transition temperature, melting temperature and branching o…
